Day 16 Haast to Franz Josef Glacier

Fuel is getting ever more expensive our fill this morning cost $2.45 per litre for 91.

Haast River Bridge, very long and only one lane wide but with three stopping bays to let oncoming traffic pass

Knights Point Lookout

We began walking to Fox Glacier but after talking to a couple who we met returning from their walk, we decided to move on to Franz Josef Glacier and walk there instead. And what an amazing walk it was

In the 10 years since 2009 the glacier has retreated about half a kilometre
